About EPLED:
The Engagement of People with Lived Experience of Dementia (EPLED) is a program introduced in 2020 for the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA) phase II.
Through this program, we will work to enable those with lived experience of dementia – persons with dementia and their care partners (i.e., friends, family and caregivers) – to be meaningfully and actively involved in the research process, including governance, priority setting, conducting research and knowledge translation.
